Mary Miles Minter is the star
who will be seen at the Crystal
Theatre tomorrow night in that
wonderful photo-play “Faith.”
Written around the screen’s
youngest and most beautiful ac-
tress, this facinating drama gives
Mary Miles Minter a rare oppor-
tunity to portray an intensely in-
teresting “Faith,” a sweet little
golden haired girl forced by
fickle fortune Ita work for her
family of a
wealthy society man. - Peculiar
circumstances cause her to be
suspected of a crime really com-
mitted by the millionaire’s step-
daughter, a beautiful woman un-
der the influence of a handsome
adventurer. The action of story
moves rapidly through a series of
gripping situations, to a monster
court room scene where “Faith”
is defended by a poor lawyer who
has lost his practice through
drink and has been befriended
by his little client. A powerful
climax is reached when the wo-
man who committed the crime
for which “Faith” is being tried,

does not appear and pay the

impounding fee of $1.00 for each
dog so impounded.
Sec. 5. That by reason of the
fact that there are a great many
mad dogs running at large with-
in the territorial limits of the
City of Center creates an emer-
gency and a public necessity,
that this ordinance is to be in
force and effect from and after
this date, and it is so ordered.

approved by the Mayor this the
9th day of April, A. D. 1917.

Thursday evening by Misses Ed-

joyfully spent “just among the

zation has been, to creatfe a
wholesome social influence with
the girls. This is the third
“girls’ social” they have given

Prof. George Adams, a former
teacher of this county, who is
now superintendent of the schools
of Center, is being brought to
this city for an operation, and he
has many friends in the county
who trust that the operation may
prove successful and that he may
soon be restored to his former
usefulness. Prbf. Adams has
been suffering with the trouble
for which be will have the opera-
tion all the year, but has endea-
vored to postpone it until he
could finish his term of school,
making it a great disappointment
to him that he must break away
on the threshold of the com-
mencement exercises of his
school where he would have op-
portunity to witness the. fruits pf
his labors-but the people of
Center greatly appreciate his
good, work and the school will be
carried forward in the glo-
rious achievement for which the
superintendent had planned.—
